I will say Joyner is right about him not being on national TV. He’s been putting out some big and powerful records but not getting the respect he deserves. He should have been on TV, but he did make it the big screen. Congratulations! Certainly one of dopest to ever do it.

[@TheeMoonstar]

I really love how they touched on the Logic situation and lowkey in depth. Logic been my favorite rapper since I heard I'm in 2013 and Joyner prolly in my top 10. This was a great interview.

[@SalvoT155]

@@faygo4215Joyner hasn’t really been around long enough to have a “classic album”, but he is definitely a better rapper than Drake. In fact, there are a ton of rappers who are better than Drake, who is only popular for his singing.

[@kier1800]

Joyner doesnt have the it factor. I used to think he was great. Until he did all the rubbish with the adhd album, got bodied by tory and the features where he got bodied even by future lol. He shouldve kept em feature for wayyy later and eminem even bodied him. He is at the right place where his at his not underated. All the storys he tell are hupothetical. Do you know the real joyner? No coz he never spat one real thing of his own life remarkable as how he hypothetically raps. He is a great emcee but his forte is story telling from 2 perspectives and the fast rap which he has overused. Joyner does not have technical writting skill where he uses entendres etc but yeah thats my honest opinion Great dude but he needs to work on his public image too coz of the pauses

I definitely have a different big 3in my opinion. My BIG 3, not in order though: KDot, Joyner Lucas and Cole. To be honest Big Boi is telling the truth and nothing but the truth when he says Joyner Lucas is underrated and it’s not his fault. People just need to pay attention to really Hip-Hop Artist instead of the goofies with a check. The goofies with a check are the main people that are keeping mind programming from the higher ups relevant and cool.
